She’s the face of Maybelline, so it’s hard not to catch a glimpse of the 23-year-old in a flashy TV commercial or glossy magazine ad. But you probably didn’t notice the tiny change Hadid recently made to her look.

After careful inspection, a.k.a. falling into a rabbit hole of scrolling through the model’s Instagram account, we were able to spot the switch-up from the darker, dramatic eyebrows she usually pairs with her bronde locks.

Parsons admits that “sometimes I do get carried away,” but she mastered this youthful brow look with an $8 drugstore beauty product: Maybelline Tattoostudio Brown Tint Pen. The key is to use a swift, delicate movement (see tutorial from Parsons below) when swiping on the brow fill-in. Luckily, the small teeth applicator makes it super-easy to recreate hair-like strokes without overdoing it.

The duo have been working together since 2015, and Parsons reveals that Hadid isn’t like most models, who are “trained not to talk bad or whatever to the makeup artist.” She explains, “[Gigi] knows what she likes and what she doesn’t like.” And it’s because of this candid relationship that Parsons can receive and give feedback that allows her to help as a makeup artist.

Now that it was our turn in Parsons’s makeup chair, we had to get answers to our most pressing beauty questions. For example, what’s the most underutilized product? According to the professional it’s the eyelash curler. She says, “If you can curl your eyelashes and get a great coat of mascara on there, you almost don’t need false eyelashes. So curl away!”

When pressed about which makeup product she believes is “an absolute waste of money,” Parsons quickly responds, “An extremely expensive eyeshadow palette.” Working with a major drugstore cosmetics brand certainly has its perks, such as having access to wallet-friendly palettes that have an amazing quality at a low-low price. Our pick: Maybelline Lemonade Craze Palette. At just $11, this hand-size palette packs a sweet punch with a combination of neutral, dark, and berry shades that can be used all over your face.
